Seniors are the top priority at Senior Concerns, a private nonprofit organization located in Thousand Oaks and serving eastern Ventura County and western Los Angeles County.

For the past four decades, Senior Concerns has provided high-quality, affordable support services to seniors and their families through innovative and effective programs aimed at fostering independence, well-being and self-esteem.

We are now a society of more old than young, necessitating a new world order for aging. At Senior Concerns, seniors come alive with enjoyment, affection and contentment, challenging the old age paradigms of losing one’s mind, capabilities or social connectedness. Community members unite to serve the very people who helped build the life we have today. Family caregivers are valued and celebrated. Our lifespans are designed as a process of continuous growth and development. At Senior Concerns it doesn’t end when we get old.

Wellness & Healthy Aging – Our Adult Day Center provides stimulating and engaging programs and activities in a safe and nurturing environment for seniors with cognitive or physical impairments. Our Meals On Wheels program delivers freshly prepared, nutritionally-balanced hot lunches and light evening meals to homebound seniors, 365 days a year.

Caregiver Support – Our Caregiver Support Center offers resources, information and education, support groups and respite services for family caregivers.

Legal, Financial and Advocate Services – Senior Advocates provide education, information and resources to seniors about Medicare, Social Security, housing, insurance and other senior-related topics. Our pro bono professionals lend a helping hand with financial and legal matters for seniors.

Volunteer and Community Activities – The Bargain Boutique and Thrift Store, Meals On Wheels and the annual Love Run and Ultimate Dining Experience offer opportunities for community involvement and fundraising while enriching the lives of seniors and all involved.

4worldlovers: Harbor House hopes to contribute to the building of a just community where all people are included. We see all human beings as worthy of our time and our efforts. We offer referrals, resources, case management, and a hand up for those who are struggling. It is our goal to help all people in our community find hope, gainful employment, affordable housing, and a sense of personal well being.

I believe that homelessness is the human rights issue of our time. I believe our children's children will read about this issue in their history books, and I want to be able to answer honestly when they ask me, "What did you do?"

The needs in our community are great and the gap between the comfortable and the working poor has never been so wide. Housing costs soar and minimum wage remains stagnant which makes living in this area financially difficult.
